Medal: royal visit of king George V and queen Mary


Recommended Posts

Is this medal for a "general royal visit use" or has it been issued for a certain visit?

At first glance I thought it was one that the Royal Canadian Mint did during a royal visit in 1935 or so, but this design does appear to be a generic British produced piece for distribution for sale wherever the royals visited. The Canadian piece is in some of the older Canadian catalogues.
